Court Overturns Poker Decision
The question of poker machine installation in Victoria was a closed one until recently, when the Victorian Court of Appeal overturned a previous decision by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT.) The Romsey Hotel had received permission from VCAT to install poker machines, but now the Court has stepped in, stating that VCAT did not consider community opposition evidence when making their decision. Some sources cite Macedon Ranges councilor John Connor as saying that Romsey has no machines, and the community wants that to remain the fact, and that the Court decision would benefit the entire state of Victoria.
